I put a bunch of perennial seedlings in the ground last week and then we ended up getting a couple inches of snow and I was so sad thinking they’d be goners - but I checked on them today and they’re completely fine!! Picking plants that are adapted to your environment will never steer you wrong <3
(Pictured are Thermopsis and Cleome seedlings growing in front of some flowering Linum lewisii we put in last year)
Transplanted my perennial seedlings today ! I’m growing Penstemon grandiflorus, Penstemon strictus, Ratibida columnifera, Thermopsis caroliniana, Monarda citriodora, and Helenium hoopesii ! (there will inevitably be more bc I have no control 🤗)
I’ve grown lots of different native plants in a greenhouse setting, but have learned the hard way that some species cannot and will not be grown inside!! Always have to pay my respects to these baddies when I see them in the wild 🫶🏻 Here is Argemone polyanthemos - thistle poppy 🤍
